V-E Day!

Today is the 68th anniversary of V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day.) Tomorrow the Russians and most of the former Soviet Union celebrates Victory Day (День Победы) because of the time difference. We need to remember what our grandparents and, for some, great-grandparents, went through in order to rid the world of fascists. They are called the "Greatest Generation" because they went through the Great Depression, World War 2, Korea and the beginnings of the Cold War. They suffered a lot so the rest of us could grow up without having to constantly worry about our day-to-day survival.
